PARKING
Directions
By
car,
the
most
popular
route
to King's College is from the north and
from the Halifax International Airport, along Route 102 (Bicentennial
Drive), which brings you into downtown Halifax via Bayers Road. If
you're coming from the United States, you can reach Nova Scotia by
driving through New Brunswick.
Airport
Halifax
International
Airport, a modern
and convivial airport (map) has
daily
arrivals
from
many
North
American
and
European
cities.
The
airport
is
approximately a 20-minute drive from the King's campus. Car
rentals, taxis
and
limousines, and the cheaper and convenient Airporter
shuttle
service ($19 one-way) can
be used to get from the airport to Halifax peninsula where the
University is located. Travellers with special needs will also find accessible local
transportation. There is now a new accessible city bus
route (bus 320) with limited stops between the airport and downtown
Halifax (Albermale Street) (Cash fare: Adults: $3.25; Children/Senior:
$2.50. Upon boarding the airport bus, you may ask for a $1.00 transfer
that will give you access to other city buses for the next 90
min.). On weekdays during peak hours (betwen 5:45 a.m.-9:00 a.m.
and 3:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m.), the bus departs from the airport every 30
minutes. It departs from the airport only once every hour for off peak
hours and on weekends (see schedule).
Note that you can only
take carry-on luggage on the city bus.
Bus
Routes
and
Ferry
The
Metro
Transit
bus
system
offers
a
number
of low-floor
accessible
bus
routes and a ferry
service between Halifax and Dartmouth (a cheap way and nice
way to
go for a small tour on the harbour; cash fares for buses and ferries:
Adult: $2.25; Senior&Child: $1.50). When boarding a bus or the
ferry, you can request a free transfer that will give you free access
to any bus route or ferry service for the next 90 min. For more
information on how to access the bus routes in Halifax, visit: http://www.halifax.ca/metrotransit/visitors.html
The
main
bus
route
going
from
most major hotels in downtown Halifax to
the campus is bus route #1, which is completely accessible. Bus signs
indicate for each stop what accessible routes are available at that
spot. For bus routes between specific places, visit Google
Transit
for
Halifax or see the schedules and maps at: http://www.halifax.ca/metrotransit/schedules/index.asp#bus
